Copenhagen

The Danish capital is blossoming. As brave new architecture springs up in the midst of its timeless cityscape and some of the oldest forgotten neighbourhoods evolve into trendy areas, where new eateries and cool bars appear to pop up overnight.

Copenhagen may boast a 1000 year old history but there is certainly nothing dated about the Danish capital. At a glance you’ll see that it’s a mix of historic buildings and modern architecture. But when you dig deeper you’ll discover cutting-edge fashion, design, gastronomy and green living push the boundaries. Be enchanted by its romantic fairy tale castles and palaces, amazed by the treasures of 100 year old Tivoli amusement park and charmed by the ambiance of picturesque Nyhavn. Sociable and alive with activity, Copenhagen boasts a myriad of shopping streets, bustling canals lined with restaurants, cafes and bars and charming outdoor spaces that are just waiting to be enjoyed and explored.

Copenhagen’s cool festivals

The Copenhagen Jazz Festival takes over the Danish capital for ten days, from 3 to 12 July. The concerts take place all over the city, in bars, clubs, along the waterfront, even in parks and squares.
